Ta' Ċieda Tower

Ta' Ċieda Tower, also known as San Ġwann Roman Tower, is a Punic-Roman tower in San Ġwann [1]. Eight coastal towers are believed to have existed in Malta and none on the nearby island of Gozo; six of which are known as the Punic-Roman towers [1]. During the Muslim period the area at the tower is known to have at least been used as an Islamic cemetery [1]. The remaining base of the Ta' Ċieda Tower today is in a dilapidated state and subject to further deterioration due to vandalism and the growth of vegetation [1].
